Thanks to Bryan's victory in the Scopes trial, Tennessee voters have been educated without oppressive evolution theory for 75 years. Free from the liberal indoctrination, Tennessee voted against native son Al Gore in the 2000 Presidential election.

Is this thread serious? FDR against a nazi? FDR would win in a landslide with or without Lindbergh's popularity

Hey buddy. Lindbergh wasn't a nazi. The nazis were a political party in Germany. Lindbergh was an isolationist like Joe Kennedy. Lindbergh ran an isolationist organization and he, like Senator Taft, supported the war against Japan. He gets tarnished with the Nazi label for visiting Germany, why doesn't Chamberlain or Kennedy get tarred with that name?

lol. He accepted the German medal of honor and refused to return it after the outcry because he thought it would be an insult to the Nazi leadership. His letters and diaries showed that he admired Hitler and considered him a great leader. One of his speeches at an anti-war rally blamed "the Jewish race" for trying to get the US involved, and claimed he didn't consider American Jews to be fully American.

I think Hitler was a great leader. Leadership isn't always a good characteristic. Leadership is getting people to follow you. So, Lindbergh admires his abilities to lead people, that makes him a NAZI? And about him being anti-semetic, you forget that alot of people are anti-semetic. The church was anti-semetic for hundreds of years, doesn't mean they're NAZIs.

Effective policing requires to know when backing down is in the best interest of public safety. By all accounts, the culture of the Ferguson Police was ignorant of that fact, and instead treated Cartman of South Park as a role model for how to be a police officer.

to be honast I find the Roth novel to be extremely offensive saying that a Lindburg presidency would be a fasicst presidency when FDR was the one who put Japenese in concentration camps while Lindburg was a libertarian.

I don't think you read it in the right spirit. Besides, Lindbergh may have been a libertarian, but he was also indisputably, at least for a time, a Nazi sympathizer and at least a borderline anti-Semite.

And are'nt you the definition of a caring, kind Libertarian?

"Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved."-William Jennings Bryan

In 1940, isolationism was becoming a dying tendency as one after another ethnic group became anti-Nazi. Jews were obvious enough -- then Czechs, Poles, Dutch, Belgians, French, Danes, and Norwegians. Nazism became an embarrassment for German-Americans. Almost anyone with strong ties to Britain of course was anti-Nazi.
